Mullvad exit IPs are surprisingly identifying

Mullvad’s exit IPs undermine its core privacy promise more than any single vulnerability disclosed in today’s top stories. An investigation reveals these addresses leak regional and ISP-level data, reducing anonymity to a guess—a flaw that hits harder than the #1-ranked VPN-busting exposé earlier this month. With 340 points and 174 comments, the community’s reaction mirrors the severity of a cryptographic key leak, yet the fix remains unclear. Tools like IP geolocation databases can pinpoint users within a 50 km radius, and ISP metadata adds another layer of exposure. This oversight puts Mullvad behind WireGuard-based rivals in real-world privacy, as the latter avoids static exit pools.
